Miami, FL – Miami home prices rose again in September, marking 10 consecutive months of appreciation, according to the 26,000-member MIAMI Association of REALTORS and the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system. The median sales price of Miami-Dade condominiums, which has increased each of the last 15 months, rose 36.2 percent to $150,000 compared to a year earlier. The median sales price of single-family homes rose 8.6 percent to $190,000.

“The Miami real estate market continues to strengthen despite the shortage of housing inventory,” said 2012 Chairman of the Board of the MIAMI Association of REALTORS Martha Pomares. “We’ve seen nearly an entire year of significant monthly price increases, which makes now a great time to sell a home. Miami properties sell very quickly and draw multiple offers when priced right.”

In September the average sales price for condominiums in Miami-Dade County increased 30.2 percent to $277,774. The average sales price for single-family homes decreased 6.1 percent to $315,521.
